"Investigative reporter" Teri Buhl is running around the Internet threatening to sue people for publishing her public tweets. That's ridiculous in and of itself. But then your head just about explodes when you realize that a few years ago she published a teenager's private sex diary online without permission. What a hypocrite.

Today, the Internet is lightly aflutter with the story of a journalist who doesn't understand the rules of journalism or privacy. A TechDirt reporter wrote a post a few days ago investigating an odd statement on Buhl's Twitter account claiming "Tweets are not publishable." (She's just made her account private, which she should have done long ago. Head to Favstar to see the awesomely mundane stuff she's hiding amongst nearly 40,000 tweets.)

TechDirt consulted some lawyers and came to the sane conclusion that, as you'd expect, Buhl's tweets are, in fact, publishable. Buhl then turned around and threatened to sue TechDirt and others that picked up the story for publishing her tweets. She's out of her mind, those lawsuits will go nowhere.
